As California’s capital, Sacramento is where most state agencies are headquartered and where much of the state’s purchasing is managed. On top of state work, the City of Sacramento, Sacramento County, SacRT, Sacramento International Airport, regional utilities and school districts issue bids year-round, and Beale Air Force Base and federal offices add federal opportunities.
GERC helps businesses compete for that work. We don’t hand you a to-do list. We complete the filings, write the documents and submit them with you.
Where the opportunities come from
- Cal eProcure, where California state agencies post solicitations and vendors register.
- California SB, SB-PW and DVBE certification through the Department of General Services, which can earn bid preferences and participation credit.
- The City of Sacramento and Sacramento County, each with its own vendor registration.
- SacRT, the airport and regional utilities, with DBE goals on federally funded work.
- Federal and defense work across the region.
What GERC handles for you
- Cal eProcure registration
- California SB and SB-PW certification and DVBE file preparation
- City of Sacramento and Sacramento County vendor registration
- SAM.gov registration and UEI validation for federal work
- Capability statements and proposal and RFP writing built around evaluation criteria
- Certified payroll and prevailing wage support for public works contractors
Why hands-on support wins
GERC is itself a California-certified Small Business (Micro) and SB-PW firm, so we know these state systems from the inside. See our Sacramento County page for more local detail.
Our process
- An honest assessment. On the first call we tell you whether government work is realistic for your business right now and which opportunities are worth pursuing.
- We prepare and submit. Registrations, certification files, capability statements and proposals, each checked against the agency’s current rules before it goes out.
- We stay with you until your registration or certification is approved, and through every bid until the award decision is in. That includes answering agency questions, handling resubmissions, renewals and compliance.
GERC is a woman-owned firm led by Dr. Shirley Ayangbah, a PhD legal and political economist, serving clients nationwide and worldwide. Book a strategy consultation and tell us what you want to win.
